As the Tenth Doctor so eloquently put it: "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey. Instead, perhaps inexplicably, I wonder if it's somehow both a prequel and a sequel, an imperfect soup of both past and present and maybe even future events. And the fact it looks demonstrably different from the first game means we cannot be looking at a linear sequel.īut given what we know of the loop poor Mono and Six are stuck within – a monstrous merry-go-round with no happy ending for either child – I don't think it's strictly a sequel, either. Beyond Six herself and her rain slicker, there are no distinct props that tie us to the original game other than that suitcase. The suitcase isn't smushed in the first game though, is it? If the suitcase isn't broken at the beginning of the first instalment, then Little Nightmares 2 simply cannot be a prequel. That even twisted and deformed, she still sought out the comfort of her little suitcase bed, just like the music box. That even in that state, she craves something familiar. It's heartbreaking, spotting that smushed up makeshift bed, because it was a sign that Six was still there inside this wailing monster, hidden within. That same suitcase - complete with the two photos taped carefully to the underside of the lid - can be spied near the end of the second game, too, although it has now been crushed beneath the weight of Nightmare Six.
Six starts the first game by jolting awake in an oversized suitcase. Partway through, however, it felt as though it may actually be a prequel, and Six had perhaps actually discovered the coat for the very first time. When Mono leads his companion to a yellow raincoat, I figured - perhaps like you - Six had, against all odds, relocated her missing coat after somehow losing it after the events of the first game. Like many of us, I started Little Nightmares 2 thinking it was a sequel. There is simply no time to huddle in a corner and indulge a crisis of conscience. It's hard to hold it against her, of course from the brutal playground games of the hollow-skulled puppets to the abominations waiting for you in the darkness of the hospital wards, the odds of surviving this place are already shockingly low. But while Mono will fight to survive, Six's actions hint at a malevolence that continues to shock, even after that final scene in the preceding game.
This theory suggests that the Thin Man – and thus Mono – is the hanging corpse whose long legs you only see.While the sequel focuses on a different protagonist here – a small boy known only as Mono – Six feels omnipresent, even when the brave duo are forced to separate. THE MEDIUM: Is Bloober Team’s newest horror game coming to PlayStation?.This could’ve just been a teaser for Little Nightmares 2, but there is a theory that the Thin Man is actually in the original Little Nightmares. However, if you remember the Secrets of the Maw DLC, its credits ended with a static television showing the Thin Man. This glitched version of Six points to a poster of the Maw from the first game.Įven though we know it’s a prequel, we still don’t know exactly why Six purposefully dropped Mono, resulting in him becoming the Thin Man in what is a paradox ending. This secret ending shows Six and a glitched version of herself with the silhouette of the Thin Man. This is because Six doesn’t wear her iconic yellow coat from the original game at the beginning of 2, as well as because Six doesn’t appear to have her powers earned at the end of the original game.Īlthough Little Nightmares 2 was said to be a sequel, there’s a secret ending which does lend credence to the theory it’s a prequel.
It also raises questions about whether Little Nightmares 2 is a prequel rather than a sequel. This suggests that a time loop could be involved, and that the Thin Man is merely trying to save his original self from helping Six and thus eventually being betrayed by her.
